An Upgrade to a Masterpiece
The Beau Ciel in the heart of Sarasota’s cultural arts district has been called an iconic architectural masterpiece. An upgrade within has taken the masterpiece to a whole new level. With new touches to the chef’s kitchen and a complete remodel of the master bathroom by the Cabex team, this tenth floor unit is more iconic than ever.
A Bright Bathroom
After stepping off the high-speed private elevator into the grand foyer, turning to the right and passing the panoramic views of Sarasota Bay and yacht harbors below takes you to the master suite. A once dark, sandy-colored space is transformed into a contemporary design with the help of Cabico Custom Cabinetry’s Unique Series in a bright Cantilly finish. These wall-mounted cabinets have roll-out drawers, and the Cambria countertop has a beveled edge.

The dark corner shower is not brighter and sits beside a freestanding tub beneath an LED mirror. The shower curb and shower seat come from a remnant we picked out with the homeowners.
The oblong bathtub is a Neptune Florence freestanding tub and is the perfect centerpiece in this spa-like oasis, the atmosphere so many homeowners want these days. The bathroom floor is Sterling White and runs over to the shower which is a bright white hexagon pattern.
With wallpaper making a comeback, the homeowners had no trouble picking out a wallpaper pattern themselves that fits their style and vision for their new space.
Chef’s Kitchen
We also added some finishing touches in the chef’s kitchen. This area wasn’t a complete remodel, however. The cabinetry stayed the same. We took out the dark granite countertops and replaced them with Pompeii Lincoln, a white quartz with thin brown veining throughout it. The quartz also now covers the oversized center island cooking station.
